"Some worked well, some did little, and
some were only hindrance, but the old

"Dot made 'em mad, ehf"
"Just so. The late corners, and espec.
tally those who had to sleep in the barn
and out doors, got together, talked for
weeks and resolved that there was some
thing eternally wrong about the farm,
and finally ended by dynamiting the old
man."

Smith-Im mighty glad [ got a revol-
yer as you advised me to. Net footpad
last night.
Jones-No! Showed it in his face and
he surrendered? Knew he would. Always
does.
Smith-Well, it was not exactly that
way. He stuck a gun ia my face and
asked for money. Truth is [ never
thought of the fact that L was armed. He
kept my mind diverted.
Jones = Then what good did your re-
volver do?
Smith-Lots of it. He was so mad at
not getting money that was afraid he
would be violent, but when he found the
revolver it pleased him and he let me go.
1t was an elegant weapon. But I'm in a
hurry.
Jones-Where going?
Smith-After another revolver, of
course. Why, that weapon saved my life.

citizen of New York city was trying TO instill
in the mind Of her 5-yearold son what it
meant to be generous, thus:
"Now Willie, dear, suppose mamma should
give you "a cako and tell YOU to give part OF
TO Harry, and when YOU divided it one
piece was larger than the other; if you gave
it to- him that would be generous, but if you
kept it for yourself that would be selfish. Do
YOU understand it|

Thenext afternoon, wishing TO test the eff
feet Of her teaching, she gave Willie large.

her. saying, with a roguish twinkle in his
